@carolmaczim A publication calling itself "The Iowa Catholic Tribune" is another example of a fake newspaper surfacing right before election day.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The life of Jesus and the saints tell us that the seed of peace, in order to grow and bear fruit, must first die. Peace is not achieved by conquering or defeating someone, it is never violent, it is never armed.

Malawi, described as “the warm heart of Africa” is also one of the poorest countries in the world, two realities that Bishop Thomas Zinkula witnessed during the second half of his journey this fall to Africa.

Happy Feast of St. John Paul II. John Paul did many amazing things as pope: pilgrimages, encyclicals, pastoral letters, and much more. But for me the most powerful was this moment: meeting with, and forgiving, his would-be assassin. When I think of John Paul, I think of this.

"... [W]e should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole Body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the Body’s growth and builds itself up in love." Ephesians 4:7-16

“Having more women involved in the universal Church leadership brings to the table a more diverse perspective, a broader base of experience, and a more balanced awareness,” Bishop Zinkula told The Catholic Messenger." https://t.co/bL3CFxpEvW

We have broken the bonds of our relationship with the Creator, with our fellow human beings, and with the rest of creation. We need to heal the damaged relationships that are essential to supporting us and the entire fabric of life. #EarthDay

While humanity’s ruin is that everyone goes their own way, in the nativity scene everyone converges upon Jesus, Prince of Peace in the night of the world. #Nativityscene

An eloquent observation on prayer from Pope Francis!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

“Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart” (Lk 2:19). Everything that happens to her ends up in her heart so that it might pass through the sieve of #prayer and be transfigured by it. #GeneralAudience

The freeing effects of kindness

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Kindness frees us from the cruelty that at times infects human relationships, from the anxiety that prevents us from thinking of others, from the frantic flurry of activity that forgets that others also have a right to be happy. #FratelliTutti

[Barb Arland-Fye @baftwit]

No questions asked....

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Jesus challenges us to put aside all differences and, in the face of suffering, to draw near to others with no questions asked. #FratelliTutti

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

A courageous decision? Using the money spent on weapons for a “global Fund” to defeat hunger. This would help avoid many wars and the emigration of many of our brothers and sisters from the poorest nations.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Prayer is the centre of life. If there is prayer, even a brother, a sister, becomes important. Those who adore God, love His children. Those who respect God, respect human beings. #GeneralAudience

Soul food for nourishment!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Belonging to Christ, and the resulting way of life, do not isolate the believer from the world, but rather make him or her the protagonist in a service of love for the common good.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us dream, as a single human family, as fellow travelers sharing the same flesh, as children of the same earth which is our common home, each of us bringing the richness of his or her beliefs and convictions, each of us with his or her own voice, brothers and sisters all.

[Barb Arland-Fye @baftwit]

@BarackObama You set the gold standard for respect, honesty, integrity and compassion during your presidency! We desperately need those values exhibited in the United States today!
